Maakies is okay but I prefer “Brother Juniper”. Can you draw Brother Juniper? My sibling once asked me what was the difference between gin and vodka and I replied ” Juniper, Brother.” We laughed very hard. I like Brother Juniper

Hey Mr Millionaire (and I do mean Mr) – I am trying to remember which collection the strip where Gabby says “I’m not gay…but my hiney is!” is in. Do you know, or better yet have a digitized copy of the strip? It conveys an important life lesson. Thanks!

Stephan Pastis might be a very fine funny fellow, but ‘Pearls Before Swine’ sucks big fat sweaty donkey cocks.
‘Pearls Before Swine’ is one of the most God awful comic strips ever written.
I keep reading it every day hoping it will have some redeeming value.
Every single day it disappoints me.
It is so unfunny it is an affront to humanity.
In the past five years I have laughed out loud more times reading fucking
‘Beetle Bailey’ than I have Pastis’ comic.
And ‘Beetle Bailey’ sucks enormously swollen camel balls.
So I will clarify my statement.

Mother Fuck ‘Pearls Before Swine’.
Fuck you in the ass ‘Pearls Before Swine’.
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU!

I like looking at ‘Family Guy’ porn. I mean, I don’t find it arousing in any way, I just find it incredibly funny.
It’s everything ‘Family Guy’ wants to be, but isn’t. They want to appeal to the most basest of common denominators, but
because of the limits of acceptable TV they will never be able to. Appealing to the most basest of Human common
denominators is only funny when it is taken to its most logical extreme. This is why Mr. Millionaire’s work is such genius.
Just my $0.02.

Yea, because Tony dreams of having his strip right between ‘For Better or Worse’ and ‘Pearls before swine’.
What a cock sucking moron you are Mauris Odio.
You are another dipshit I would like to shoot in the balls with a large caliber handgun.
Fuck you

The April 21st cartoon with the Vroom Bond speedboat is spot on. If the vessel drawn had a stainless steel bow, it would have been a ringer for a Gar Wood rumrunner’s special from the late 1920’s and 1930’s.

Lunch this afternoon was grand; thanks for the good company. I’m going back on the road Monday for at least three weeks, but I’ll be in and out of town fairly regularly from now on, and look forward to getting together again.

One of the many, many unassigned but apparently mandatory duties all Boomers must perform prior to our impending grisly and puke-inducing demise is to try to sort out what the fuck our lives were about for some odd reason, as if life were obligated to have a plot line, script, an accompanying score, a climax then across the sky is written the words “The End.” It is a one-time luxury to savour being able to do so when you consider how mindlessly dangerous our teen and young adult lives were. When I see re-runs of That Seventies Show or The Wonder Years I feel like twisting those shows’ executive producers’ heads off then ramming them up their arses.

The Dooley Dooley cartoon reminds me of my first and last AA meeting invite back in the 1980’s. After the usual litany of war stories hilariously devoid of any shred of remorse I raised my hand when the group leader got ready to start the closing prayer bit. I asked “Just curious, but how many of you guys are eldest sons?” About 75 or 80 percent out of the 90-odd court-ordered attendees raised their hand.

Did you spend any quality time as a kid trying to kill off your little brother, I wonder? I know I did. It just made him tougher but perhaps that is the entire point of being the oldest son, one of our hard-wired design parameters. I know lots of our species and genus and it is the same story every time. Nature is a crafty old whore, isn’t she?

Dogs are often made to wear collars because they selfishly lick off medication. (one guy dressed his big dog in his own clothes, and made the animal look like a dog-headed man. Dog would otherwise lick off medication. )

Pee-pee ess. All this started beacuase (ref: “Dot dot dot” vid) you moved the two reviews the article cited and the citations went dead in their links! And by this I mean me reading and typing on your site rather than getting back to double-you peeing!

Still sincerely but I give up, I’m User:Geekdiva in en.WP’s page allocation spaciness.

Hi Tony,
as I told you I’m working on a series of tables, and well, I’d like to put you in as a fiction character. It would take long to explain here (it’s part of a very complex story), and besides I’d rather talk about it via private message. If I give you my e-mail could you please contact me? I’ll be glad to tell you the whole thing in details, especially the part of the script concerning you.
Have a nice day,
Umberto M.

Tony,
Many full moons ago, I was surprised at Christmas with my favorite Black dook, dook, dook, Drinky Crow T Shirt….however years of not drinking and for the life of me cannot find my fave Alcy bird. If you somehow see it proper to resurrect the double large black Drinky shirt, I would love to be the first to know. Thanks….

But your teeth didn’t kill your friend, right? Your teeth hitting him couldn’t have been the only injury for a non-seat-belted person in a 50 MPH head-on crash. He must have hit the dashboard or the tree, didn’t he? A skull is a lot harder than a kid’s teeth, isn’t it? I’m not trying to quibble with your factual account. I just have been moved by your cartoon into a perhaps inappropriate level of concern about whatever load of guilt you are apparently carrying around. It wasn’t your fault! Which I’m sure you know. Sorry to emote all over your comments section. Thank you for this powerful comic.

EricF

You are correct. People in this situation used to almost always die regardless of whether someone was in the back seat or not. What would happen is that the person in the front seat would hit their head on the windshield, breaking their neck and killing them. Not someone hitting them from behind. Not even in this gruesome scenario.

Chrissie Hynde has a new autobiography out that clearly states how deeply influential S Clay Wilson’s work was to those of us growing up when it was coming out. I wish he was in a position to appreciate her appreciation.

In re 9-17.
I did not click on the dog doodoo strip, because I really do NOT like dog behavior. Also they do not live long. 15-20 years is too short and some breeds live far shorter . I tired of pet mice because they are past their prime at 1 (one) and the longest mouse I had, lived but 3 years.(the best one). Same for hamsters.

AND, on a completely unrelated tangent, STOP giving money to M. Night Shyamalan to make movies. ‘The Sixth Sense’ was a decent film, but every thing after that has gotten progressively worse. OK, ‘Signs’ is soooo bad it may qualify as ‘Classically Bad’. I mean Ed Wood bad.

Obscene would be good if he were funny, but he is not.
There is a special place in Hell for completely talentless fuck faces like you that fool people into thinking you are funny, Mr McFarlane.
Fuck you, Mr McFarlane. Fuck you.

M the Magnificent

EricF

No, Mr M, you are not Seth Mcfarlane. Seth McFarlane is Seth McFarlane.
Read the understrip on ‘MAAKIES share the road’. Seth McFarlane is the Fucktard that wrote the Movies ‘Ted’ and ‘Ted 2’.
He is the “he” and “you” I was referring to. Sorry for the confusion.

Tony, your work is brilliant and I want to give you lots of my monies in exchange for cool Maakies/Drinky Crow stuff. So WHY U NO have cool stuff like t-shirts, posters or books for sale? I need more Drinky Crow in my life. Please provide me a place to transfer the contents of my bank account into yours.

I do always so enjoy sock monkey news, and I love this site. You’ve so much to do I know you have your hands full with work and family However, if I sent you an e-mail would you have a moment to read it? Yes, I asked.

Firsttimelongtime

Its weird and it sucks. Your strip was what it was, I can see some people being offended but it IS Maakies, it hasn’t changed. CP was bought last year by the Baltimore Sun and I can’t help but feel it was a corporate decision. Thats bad, but whats worse is CP and Serps playing the “high and mighty morality judge” of the whole thing instead of acknowledging their orders. I guess Savage Love is next. A bad sign for the paper and the city.
I’m a big fan, btw, thanks for all your work.

Editors almost never know anything about comics, and this dipshit is no exception. But what a twerp with his “It’s time for the millenials to stand up and smash sexism” crap. As if he is taking a courageous stand against a powerful foe, rather than cowardly trashing a work of art for fear of offending his Facebook friends. A 40-year-old twerp. Also, I love his appropriation of M.Trudeau’s term “punching down.” The only one doing any punching down is Evan attempting to punch down his tiny little erection, thinking about what a hero he is to his 20-something girl writers.

Political correctness wins again.
I fucking hate everything PC.
And anytime anyone says that they are ‘offended’ there should only be one of a various
number of responses, such as; Fuck off, Who fucking cares?, Get over it, Grow up, So what?, etc.

Political Correctness prevents us from substituting hostility with humor and therefore it is the antithesis of humor and therefore Evil.
Sometimes it is good to be an Asshole. It depends on who you are being an asshole to.

Red Harmony

The general opinion is “Who gives a fuck what they think?” They are a city whose cops kill its citizens. Maybe you should honor them with a cartoon about that. THAT would be politically incorrect.
Maakies is back online, and I’m happy as a clam that got drunk and punched his wife in the eye. Thank you, Tony, thank you.
